There is Never Enough Time

Watch I assembledTo the right of this post is a photo of my latest craft; I haven’t made anything in a while…

I bought the watch face on my last visit to the Chinese flea market, AKA “China Mart” and bought the faux pearl beads a couple of months ago.

The watch face cost me R25, that’s alot less than what one would have to pay at an art and craft store. The beads cost me less than R30 for a long string; they’re faux pearl beads anyway.

I made this last Friday afternoon, the day before my niece’s baptism, just so I could add a little something to what I was wearing and because I was bored that Friday afternoon. I put each bead on a wire pin as I didn’t have any other wire, making three chains and attached them to the watch face. Nothing fancy but I like it.

A lot of things are going to be happening tomorrow. I’ll be meeting my fiancé’s parents for the first time and something else. Yeah, I’m moving out tomorrow, finally the day is really close! Anyway, I will blog again after tomorrow… Well actually, depending on when I can next get online that is. We might only have internet access by sometime in October, if not sooner.

I will be updating on Twitter often, so keep an eye on my Twitter page or subscribe to the RSS feed, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Oh, how will I survive without the internet?!

I have packed up all of the kitchen and decorative goods already and still have to pack up all my clothes and all my other stuff. So I have some more packing to do and I also have to iron the curtains that my fiancé and I bought last weekend for our bedroom, before I go to bed tonight.

So much to do, so little time!

So Not Ready

Victor and I should have our apartment secured sometime this week. I think that the apartment is really nice… Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open plan kitchen and lounge with a very small balcony. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is really cute, I like it. I can’t wait till we move in, which should be sometime in August!

I purchased sixteen pieces of black crockery recently; coffee mugs, bowls, dinner plates and side plates… I plan on buying some white pieces in the future so that we can mix and match the pieces. On Saturday I purchased three stainless steel covered glass canisters from Clicks and saw matching spice jars at Ackermans so I purchased those too… And today I saw some at different store that are the same size as the spice jars but are shakers, so I purchased a couple of those just to add to my little collection for my future kitchen. I also bought a couple of white melamine mixing bowls from Clicks and still need to buy lots more stuff…

I had been collecting goods for when I move out for a while now… It started maybe about a year ago; buying a couple of things every month and packing them into a box in my cupboard… Just for when I move out. That will be next month and Victor and I don’t even have everything we need!

Gift from Mouse*I received another gift via my wish list at Fetish Factory… I went to collect it from the post office Friday afternoon… This gift consisted of three pairs of arm warmers, a really cute key chain and a set of five pink and black skull magnets. The magnets seemed to look much bigger on the website, they’re small, really small but really cute! These will be sitting on my fridge when I move out… Until then, they’ll be on my bathroom door’s frame. Thank you, Mouse*!
